When we go to the playgroup at the park on Mondays he will often spend the first ten minutes or so just looking. Last week a few people were watching him and commented on how incredibly content he looked just lying there. He will get bored after a few minutes and then become social, but it's so interesting to me that he seems to love nature so much. Bugs, birds, squirrels, leaves -- all of it is fascinating. I'm thinking we might have to look into a Waldorf preschool for him when the time comes.
We recently had our yard de-fire-anted, which means we can go sit in the back yard now. We have a lovely, shady back yard, and we've never spent much time in it because of the fire ants. There are still a lot of mosquitoes, but their numbers are falling off a bit now that it's getting cooler. It's really nice to be able to enjoy it now. We'll eventually get Carter a playscape-like structure. Maybe I could hang a baby swing in the tree in the meanwhile. :-)

I vote for a Waldorf pre-school. My mom was a kindergarten teacher at the Rudolf Steiner school in Manhatten (the first Waldorf school in this country.) They really foster a love of all that is beautiful in this world; an appreciation for music and art and they provide simple toys which allow the child to use his/her imagination rather than a bunch of gadgets that dictate what one should do with them. (This my humble opinion.)
